Mont Blanc 146 Transition?
I would love to get a definite answer on this 146. My father, now deceased bought this pen ages ago and rarely used it - he replaced it with the Meisterstück 149. (Which he rarely used as well) He simply loved having them:)
The 146 has a grey window . . .tinging on blue, but it is grey. The band is flat and it seems to have the older style engraving - Germany, not W. Germany.
I don't like to part with either, but alas, left-handers don't do well with fountain pens!
As I am not sure of the provenance of the 146 . . .nor its age, I have no concept of value or where to sell them
I would really appreciate any input/advice.

I would recommend that you check out the technical information given on another forum here. However, you could be right, this might be a 146 transition.

I am a photographer - nice Nikon, lenses etc.
However, I resort to my iPhone 5s almost always - as I did with these pics. The 6s is even better. A plastic manilla folder in daylight and an iPhone - makes for great close-ups

Maybe it would be a good idea to resize the pics, they are much too big to see without scrolling.

Re: Mont Blanc 146 Transition?
I have one with the gray window and the two tone nib. Bought from a member of FPN, Niksch.
Edit to add: I have wondered sometimes if the nib were part of a restoration, because the clip has no "Germany" or "West Germany," as if the clip were a replacement clip. The pen needed repair to correct skipping, but now works perfectly.
I am a left hander and a lifelong user of fountain pens. The OP might not like fountain pens though personally.
